    Neat little body swerve there Cyrille. Are you suggesting that your work and retirement experience qualifies you to comment on UK taxation?

    No answer then. Why would I contemplate your body? Such swerving is a figure of speech and indicative of your lack of answers.

    You accuse me of ad hom, then describe a person you have never met or seen, as flabby and degenerate? According to you, you’re smarter than that, but referring to me as gay might spoil the impression you try to give of yourself.

    At least everyone knows what a stuffy hypocrite you are now.

    Merica doing what it does best, poking its nose into other nations affairs and doing it hypocritically - the fukers would never wear any other country dictating to them but time and again they feel they can do so to anyone they feel like. Lets hope they get the big middle finger.

    US delegation arrives in Europe for talks on Northern Ireland and Brexit

    Nine-strong team led by close Biden ally will visit Brussels, Dublin and London in significant intervention on division over NI protocol

    One of Joe Biden’s closest allies is due to arrive in London on Saturday as part of an influential US congressional delegation seeking to calm tensions over Northern Ireland.


    The nine-strong delegation includes Democratic and Republican delegates from the House of Representatives and Senate including members of the powerful ways and means committee chaired by Richard Neal, who will lead the group.


    The group was due to land in Brussels early Friday for a series of meetings, including with the European Commission’s vice-president and Brexit commissioner Maroš Šefčovič, to kick off a six-day trip that will also take in Dublin, Kerry and Belfast.


    They will travel to London for Saturday meetings with the foreign secretary, Liz Truss, the international trade secretary, Anne-Marie Trevalyan, the Labour leader, Keir Starmer, and Nick Thomas-Symonds, the shadow international trade secretary.


    Neal has also requested a meeting with Boris Johnson and while nothing is scheduled he said he was “hopeful” talks with the prime minister could still be arranged.


    The delegation’s arrival is being seen as a significant intervention by the US, which is acting as co-guarantor of the 1998 Good Friday agreement.


    Neal has already made his displeasure known over the government’s plan to draft legislation to remove parts of the Northern Ireland protocol from the Brexit treaty despite warnings it could risk a full trade war with the EU.


    But he told the Guardian his mission was to defuse tensions and help broker a UK-EU deal.


    “My purpose is manifold but we really want to reaffirm America’s unwavering commitment to the Good Friday agreement and to remind everybody that on the eve of the 25th anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement, it has worked splendidly,” he said.


    “I want to remind everybody in the UK, in Northern Ireland that it should not be treated as a cavalier achievement.”


    He said it was important to pull back from the brink of unilateral action to breach the Brexit treaty.


    “They haven’t breached it yet. They’re talking about breaching it, so part of my job is to convince them not to breach it,” he said.


    He confirmed that Biden has a “high level of interest” in appointing a special envoy to Northern Ireland echoing the move to send Senator George Mitchell, one of the architects of the peace accord, to Belfast in 1995.


    Shadow Northern Ireland secretary, Peter Kyle, said the US visit should be a welcome interjection given the Democratic Unionist party threats not to return to power-sharing until the new laws on the protocol were enacted.


    “The UK government is unable to provide the stability or platform for which political differences can be settled, so therefore it falls to another country.”


    He added: “It is humiliating for our government and our country. We need a third-party country to come in and seek a resolution and to be an honest broker.”


    Alongside Neal on the trip are Republicans Kevin Brady, Mike Kelly, Vern Buchanan and David Joyce and Democrats Ron Kind, Dan Kildee and Mary Gay Scanlon.


    After London, the delegation will travel to Dublin to meet the Irish leaders and Belfast to meet Sinn Féin leaders and the DUP leader, Sir Jeffrey Donaldson, whom Neal has met on many occasions.


    Their arrival coincides with a warning by Ireland’s deputy prime minister Leo Varadkar that the British position on Brexit was causing such divisions in Northern Ireland it would backfire and “weaken” the union.


    “Brexit weakened middle-ground support for the union in Northern Ireland. Unilateral action on the protocol will weaken it even more,” the tanaiste said in an article for the Guardian.


    The delegation will also visit Ventry in Kerry, the birthplace of Neal’s maternal family, the Garveys, to meet with an agriculture delegation travelling to the Eastern States Exposition in September.


    The EU ambassador to the UK rejected Truss’s demand that the Northern Ireland protocol be rewritten, and issued a blunt warning of retaliation if the government passes a law disapplying aspects of the agreement.


    “We can’t renegotiate the protocol: the ink on the signatures is hardly dry,” said João Vale de Almeida.

    History, time has moved on. If they want to do something useful they should tell the EU to stop being deliberately obstructive, but they won't.

    Quite frankly the Pelosi threat on the trade deal was weak, they've played their card with the UK and now they need to address the other party.

    More bollox spouted by the US, they need to consider not all countries are like them, they can compartmentalise issues - fukin idiots, its got fuk all to do with Ukraine but the US has made it so.

    Northern Ireland: UK and EU's row risks Western unity, top US official warns

    The UK's dispute with the European Union over Northern Ireland trade risks undermining Western unity during the Ukraine war, a senior US official says.

    Derek Chollet told the BBC the US hoped the row over Northern Ireland's post-Brexit trade deal could be resolved.

    He said "a big fight between the UK and the EU" was "the last thing" Washington wanted.

    Vladimir Putin would "use any opportunity he can to show that our alliance is fraying", he added.

    Mr Chollet, the most senior adviser to US Secretary of State, Anthony Blinken, said: "We want to see this issue resolved and we want to see the temperature lowered and no unilateral acts.

    "And it's particularly important right now where we need to send a message of unity to the world and not undermine all the things that we've been so successful in working on together over the last several months and showing unity in Ukraine."

    Quo Vadis, Mr Johnson?


    Alexander Johnson, or to give him his full name, Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson, was born to wealthy British parents in New York in June 1964, fifty years after the Sarajevo assassination in June 1914. Since 2019 Johnson has been the Prime Minister of the UK. Giving the impression of an elitist and snobbish aristocrat and distantly related to Queen Elizabeth II, he used to work as a right-wing journalist but is above all a renowned political opportunist. A man of the people he is not. Like so many other politicians, does he actually believe in anything, apart from in himself?


    Johnson is a biographer of his idol, the half-American Winston Churchill, whom he appears to imitate in his stoop and gait. His fawning book The Churchill Factor, clearly indicates who his model is. He has five or six or seven children (he himself does not seem to be too sure how many he has fathered by various mothers) and enjoys drunken parties in Downing Street during and outside lockdowns.


    Johnson is probably best known for Brexit. Since Tory Party grandees, backed by greedy industrialists and media hirelings, undemocratically forced the UK into the EEC/EU straitjacket in 1973, presumably it was only right that they should have freed the UK from it in 2020. The EU is a failed organisation anyway. But where does the UK go after the EU? Everyone remembers the sinister Dean Acheson’s words in 1962 that ‘Great Britain has lost an empire and has not yet found a role’. Sixty years later, in 2022, Johnson’s very belated initial answer after the UK-EU misfit divorce was ‘Global Britain’. After his recent humiliation in tentative trade talks in not surprisingly anti-colonial and not surprisingly pro-Russia India, possibly even he has at last realised that ‘Global Britain’, better known to history as ‘the British Empire’, is over….and, by the way, it didn’t work either…


    So, fresh back from his Indian fiasco, Johnson announced his latest fantasy, reported in Italy on 27 May, which is an alternative to the EU. (Has he never heard of the British alternative to the Common Market of sixty years ago – EFTA? It too was a failure). Anyway, his latest harebrained scheme is a military and trade alliance, led by the UK of course, with the Ukraine, Poland, the Baltics and ‘perhaps later Turkey’. Like most of Johnson’s concepts, the concept is laughable. (Could that well-known genius Liz Truss, who wants the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation to be extended to the Pacific – one ocean is much like another, after all – have helped him think it up?).


    Someone should tell Johnson that the Ukraine is bankrupt and no longer exists as such and that the combined population of the Baltics is only four million. This is because most of Latvia’s and Lithuania’s under 40s have been obliged to emigrate to paid slave labour in the EU in order to survive, after Germany had for peanuts bought up and then closed down their industries. (By the way, since the three Baltic States have no jet fighter planes, NATO stations there between four and eight fighters but, most frighteningly of all, Britain now has 1,700 troops and no fewer than 18 tanks to protect Estonia; clearly a huge threat to the one million strong Russian Army, its two million reserves and its 15,398 tanks). As for Poland, which always remembers how Britain first sold out Czechoslovakia in 1938, but then gallantly sent over its armed forces to protect it against the Nazi hordes in 1939, it has already made Polish into Britain’s second language anyway (3). What more is there for it to gain there? As for ‘perhaps later Turkey’, the Ottoman Sultan Erdogan has different ideas…..


    Johnson is at best the blustering and stuttering buffoon in a comedy show starring a temporary Prime Minister of what can at best be called the DK, the Disunited Kingdom. Disunited because the thirty-year long anti-unity colonial war in Northern Ireland, with its 3,500 dead, ended nearly 25 years ago, because clearly there will at last be a long-delayed return to a United Ireland and justice. And Scotland will return to being an independent country, as it was before its ruling elite was bribed by the City of London to unite with England and Wales in 1707. Wales could then go the same way as Scotland.


    From here on, home rule and so freedom for the much-tried 56 million people of England will see the long-awaited end to the 1066-imposed British Establishment, with its millennial Norman perfidy, and, at last, a democratic English National Parliament. Then a sovereign England could at last take its place as just another of the world’s quite ordinary 200 nations, and all quite superfluous Johnsonesque British Imperial pretensions put back where they belong, in the dustbin of history.


    As Washington’s tousled, overweight blond poodle, the Manhattan-born Johnson barks around the USA, which duly keeps him busy by throwing him sticks to run after, which he is happy to do. But nothing new here, UK Prime Ministers have been eagerly running, panting, wagging their tails and bringing back saliva-covered sticks to their US masters. This has been so ever since the US occupation of the UK began seven weeks after Pearl Harbour (could that be a clue as to why it actually happened?) eighty years ago in January 1942, with the first of two million occupying US troops. Soon after that quite a lot of British people were manipulated into behaving like cowboys, watching US films, chewing gum, drinking coca-cola, eating junk food, wearing jeans, line-dancing and singing songs with American accents. It was clearly the beginning of the end, if we may contradict Churchill’s November 1942 remark.


    But we have still not answered our question: Where are you going, Mr Johnson?


    With the UK collapsing (not a question of if, but when), with the EU collapsing (not a question of if, but when), with the USA collapsing (not a question of if, but when), amid the birthpangs of the new multipolar world, brought about by the West through its tragic catspaw of the collapsing Ukraine, we ask: Quo vadis, the Western world?


    Whatever your bluster, Mr Johnson, the fact is that we are all heading for a New World Order, and it is not the one that you and the top-dog elite have been dreaming of. It is the one that was in your nightmares, the one where you are no longer a poodle, but where your master is the poodle. And as for you, perhaps you have more in common with Zelensky than you thought – exile to a gilded cage for buffoons in Florida beckons. Yanks and CIA assets, go home. Yes, and take all the would-be Yanks, traitors and nuclear weapons together with you, we do not want them littering and polluting our shores.


    Oh, and don’t bother to leave us your number. Newly-freed Europe, from the Atlantic to the Urals, will not be calling you. We are busy, off to a café in Vienna to plan our future common European home, trade and security in the new Confederation of Sovereign Europe, Moscow, Saint Petersburg, Helsinki, Stockholm, Warsaw, Prague, Vienna, Budapest, Bucharest, Athens, Berlin, Paris, London, Madrid and Rome, the one we lost in 1914, remember? Goodbye forever, Mr Johnson. Enjoy the gangsters in Miami.

    ^ Canadians need not apply next time there is a vacancy for a British PM. As your c&p proves, it is such a poisoned chalice, no sensible person would want it.

    The fact that you are perfectly suited to the vacancy is largely irrelevant. Just like you and Kier Starmer. The chance of either of you succeeding is improbably remote.

    What the UK really needs is a whining republican ex Brummie, like Cyrille or Sabang.

    A Network of the Kremlin’s Obedient Followers


    The Saker of the Vineyard

    ..... is a blog by a retired Swiss Red Cross officer, residing in Florida and defending Russia against an enigmatic Empire. The Saker has become a franchise for an international network of pro-Kremlin outlets, with branches in German, Italy, Latin America, and Russia. A Saker is a sort of falcon, falco cherrug, endemic to the steppes of Eurasia. The name of the blog is an anagram of the blogger’s name.

    The Saker connects Russian nationalist groups and outlets with North American anti-Semite groups; Russian communists with French and Italian right-wing activist. Devote Christians with aggressive thugs. It’s a successful franchise in disinformation.

    So what is The Saker? Let’s start with the original, English language version of the site. It’s registered in Iceland. The blog started as a humble Blogspot site in 2007 and developed slowly into an international brand. The site’s tagline is “Stop the Empire’s War on Russia”. The author describes himself:

    Disrespectful of social dogmas and norms, oppositional and defiant towards authority, rebellious and aggressive by nature, deeply contrarian on an almost knee-jerk level, libertarian in outlook.

    The Saker sounds like a really impressive guy; with integrity. “Defiant towards authority”. Wow. We all want to be like The Saker. His defiance is, unfortunately, very much one-sided. He is devotedly aligning himself with anything that the Kremlin says. Ukraine is ruled by Nazis; The Baltic States are Aggressive; Russia is bringing peace to Syria. Virtually anything the Kremlin lies about is repeated, faithfully, by The Saker: MH17, Skripal – even the Eurovision Song Contest is narrated the Kremlin way.

    The Evil Empire
    The Real Enemy of The Saker is “The Empire”. The tagline of The Saker’s blog is “Stop the Empire’s War on Russia”. And it’s not just any old empire – it’s the Anglo-Zionist Empire. The Saker breaks it down in detail:

    The US Empire is run by a 1% (or less) elite which can be called the “deep state” which is composed of two main groups: Anglos and Jews. These two groups are in many ways hostile to each other (just like the SS and SA or Trotskysts and Stalinists), but they share 1) a racist outlook on the rest of mankind 2) a messianic ideology 3) a phenomenal propensity for violence 4) an obsession with money and greed and its power to corrupt. So they work together almost all the time.

    The Saker has a ready answer to anyone suggesting that the above claim is a racist, anti-Semite remark:

    I don’t care.

    Syndicated Disinformation
    The Saker is strongly integrated into both Kremlin-controlled networks and homegrown US-based conspiracy groups. The Saker and South Front syndicate content; a special section of The Saker Site is devoted to reports from South Front. The Saker personally contributes to sites in Canada, the US and to Russian nationalist groups. The site contains a selection of news sources – most are affiliated to Russian state or oligarch structures. RT, Sputnik, New Eastern Outlook, Strategic Culture Foundation, South Front, News Front and other contributors to the EUvsDisinfo Database on Disinformation
    The Saker is a successful instrument for reaching out to an international audience. It has a vaguely intellectual approach, with references to philosophy, theology and dubious sources. It is a cosy, secluded environment, reaffirming any kind of prejudice and bigotry, allowing the readers to indulge in hatred while pretending to be reasonable and rational, courageous truth-sayers;

    Il piano segreto di Boris Johnson per dividere l’Ucraina da Russia e Ue: il Commonwealth europeo- Corriere.it

    Boris Johnson's secret plan to divide Ukraine from Russia and the EU: the European Commonwealth

    On Tuesday in Davos, Europe's most high-profile evening was scheduled. At the tables of a secluded hall of the Congress Center sat three prime ministers of the Union – of Belgium, Greece and Spain – the president of the European Central Bank Christine Lagarde, two heavyweights of the Brussels Commission such as Paolo Gentiloni and Frans Timmermas, many ministers of various countries, the head of foreign intelligence in Paris. Yet the most awaited guest was missing: Kiev's Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba. Announced on the eve, but never showed up.


    Apparently Kuleba did not miss much because the European establishment at its highest level, throughout the evening, almost completely avoided mentioning the war on the Union's borders. But it is precisely these sometimes surreal silences and the absence of the Kiev guest that have laid bare the creeping tension between Ukraine and some of the main countries of the Union. It is precisely in this space that Boris Johnson is trying to insert himself, with an initiative that seeks to disrupt the cards in Europe: the Prime Minister of London proposes a new system of political, economic and military alliances – alternative to the European Union – that gathers countries united by distrust towards Brussels and also towards Germany's response to Russian military aggression.


    Boris Johnson has been weaving his canvas for over a month now, according to some people familiar with the talks and present these days at the World Economic Forum in Davos. The prime minister first presented his idea to Volodymyr Zelensky when the Ukrainian president welcomed him to Kiev on April 9. The European Commonwealth model that Boris Johnson has in mind would have Britain as a leader and would include, in addition to Ukraine, Poland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, as well as potentially Turkey at a later date. Since the visit of the Prime Minister of London to Kiev, the talks would have continued and the British courtship towards Ukraine would be becoming increasingly pressing and detailed.


    According to the few informed people outside London, Johnson proposes analliance of states jealous of their national sovereignty, liberal in economy and determined to the utmost intransigence against Moscow's military threat. The Kiev government, for its part, has not taken a position on the British initiative but for the moment has not stopped it in the bud. The Ukrainian elite has become convinced that in the palaces of power in Germany and France very few hope for the defeat of Vladimir Putin: the delays on sanctions and weapons to be sent have now dug a political ditch. Zelensky is therefore waiting for the European summit on June 23, when the leaders of the twenty-seven countries will be called upon to decide whether to recognize Ukraine as a "candidate" to formally start negotiations for accession to the European Union. It is not certain, however, that the decision of June 23 will be what Ukraine hopes, also because it would raise the protests of Albania and North Macedonia that have been waiting for years for the status of "candidate". There is therefore also another hypothesis, according to some negotiators: the leaders of the Twenty-seven can limit themselves to vaguely declaring that Kiev has a "European perspective" (the so-called "Thessaloniki formula").


    In that case, Zelensky would take Boris Johnson's alternative offer more seriously. It is also possible that rumors about these contacts will be circulated now, precisely to put pressure on European leaders ahead of the June decisions. It is also likely that the British project has feet of clay: London does not have the ability of the European Union to financially support Ukraine, nor is it said that Poland or the Baltic countries will embark on an initiative that could compromise relations with Brussels.


    Certainly Johnson is looking for a political dividend, notes a European minister: the prime minister hopes to have an extra card in the negotiations with Brussels that he himself would like to reopen on Brexit. So London tries to upset the balance on the continent. And in doing so it can end up revealing a fault line that now really exists on the European continent: the one between the countries that are helping Ukraine more decisively – the United Kingdom and Poland above all – and those that do it in a more cynical and hesitant way. According to estimates by Arianna Antezza of the Kiel Institute for the World Economy, London alone has so far provided more economic and military aid to Kiev in the war than the whole of the European Union. And Poland has given more than Germany, France and Italy. Thus Vladimir Putin's war, now in its fourth month, begins to open the first political cracks in Europe.

    Before the EU admits another member state, they need to decide if the Union benefits from that admission in a political, or economic way.
    Trying to do both is divisive for the current 27, and that would only accelerate the downfall of the EU. The UK saw this coming, hence Brexit.
    The EU is currently led by Germany as far as economic benefits go, a Macron is struggling to make himself, his country and the EU politically relevant.

    As far as Johnson goes, it’s a bit difficult for anyone to accept the plans of such a maverick who likes to play fast and loose with everything.

    Remember when Tax and all the other Brexit fucktards said the post Brexit £ slump was just a blip and fighting Blighty would roar back once unshackled from the tyrannous grip of the devilish European oppressors that had held the English to ransom for 43 years.

    Just to remind him, in 2015 the £ to the US $ was on average $1.52 but fell to its lowest level $1.21 in Oct 2016, a low not witnessed for over 30 years, but here we are, seven fucking years later and £ Sterling is still anchored at $1.25. WTF? Tax was wrong!! Whoudda thunk it? And this is with the best possible deal BoJo said was a crowning success for his now oven ready Withdrawal Agreement.

    You Brexit mofos are surely the dimmest bunch of fuckos in creation.

    A timely reminder.

    Unfortunately they can blame much of the damage BREXIT has wreaked on Putin.

    Meanwhile toddler boris’s big ideas all seem to involve breaking the law.

    Oh, did I say $1.25? Sorry, spoke too soon, $1.23.

    As the Bank of America so rightly observed, on leaving the EU Britain's £ has become an emerging market currency.

    Brexit Britain = a coon state.

    So appropriate with a ragbag government of the talentless, the dishonourable and the patently deluded led by a narcissistic sociopathic conman full of dribbling incoherent rhetoric.

    ……. and your solution is?

    Are you still stuck in a Pattaya shithole, living in a country you despise, married to a Thai, who you also classify as “coons”.
    Cant have it both ways dickhead. Stop complaining or get out of the kitchen. Oops, you can’t do that can you.for whatever reason you have invented this week?

    I had a letter today from NS&I saying that bonds must be tied to UK bank account. That means those in the EU who lost their accounts will also have to cash in their bonds. Fortunately, I didn't lose my account.

    Just another side effect of brexit, the most stupid decision ever made by the British people.

    The issue with Brexit is the human condition. You remainers are all bellyaching about how its affected you now, well you won't be around for long, none of us will, but the country will continue. The world won't end because we left the Brussels scum and the petty bureaucrats. Sausages will go to the grave soon with the notion leaving the EU matters, it doesn't in the long run.

    Most Brexit voters did it for their kids, grandchildren and their futures.

    A selfless act and true Dunkirk spirit
